That's interesting. I hadn't heard of it before. I guess the point of it is to make a very small system that will work inside little devices. Did they write it from scratch or did they use GNU code? It definitely has a very GNUish origin because it is GPL'd and Bruce Perens wrote it for the Debian project: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6143283999.html Thanks for the tip. Mike
